Cajun Shrimp Tacos
Putting a Cajun twist on a true fan favorite. Who says tacos are only for Tuesdays?
I have a confession…..I love tacos. I love tacos in the morning, I love tacos in the afternoon, and I love tacos at nighttime. I love tacos hot and I love tacos ice cold. In conclusion…I love tacos.
However, and don’t shoot me, tacos can be repetitive. Everything can use a little jazzing up, I mean variety is the spice of life, right? With that being said, allow me to introduce Cajun Shrimp Tacos. This idea came to me as a variation of Bone Fish Grill’s Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos. If you have never had them, please stop doing yourself a disservice! Anyways back to my tacos. My Cajun tacos are a fun remix to an everyday classic. You can still pair this with your margarita, chips and salsa, guacamole, or a nice salad like I did.

Cajun Shrimp Tacos
Makes about 8 tacos
Ingredients:
16oz Medium shrimp
8 Tortillas (I used soft tortillas)
Shredded lettuce
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
Spring onions, chopped
1 Teaspoon of Minced Garlic
Seasonings
2 Tablespoons of Cajun seasoning
2 Tablespoons of Old Bay
2 Tablespoons of Adobo
2 Tablespoons of Garlic Powder
2 Tablespoons of Onion Powder
2 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
Sauce
Creamy Chipotle Sauce (I used sauce found in Target, Creamy Chipotle Sauce - 8.4oz - Good & Gather™ : Target)
1 Tablespoon Honey
Instructions:
Clean and rinse shrimp. Peel and devein shrimp if necessary.
Season shrimp with above listed seasonings. Make sure to stir the shrimp and seasonings to ensure the shrimp is evenly coated. If need be, add additional seasoning.
Use olive oil to coat pan. Once oil is hot, sauté shrimp until evenly cooked, usually about 5-7 minutes on each side.
While your shrimp is cooking, in a bowl mix creamy chipotle sauce (as much as you like) and honey.
Begin to assemble the tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shrimp, and sauce to top.
Enjoy!
